If you guys want to believe that a gun designed to be an AA weapon too has a slower rate of fire than a 58 caliber civil war musket, then be my guest.

In the movie Glory there is a wonderful scene in which several soldiers are praising one of their fellow on his ability to load and fire that very weapon quickly and accurately. His commander then has him do it again, except this time said Colonel pulls his revolver and starts firing it right by the poor guy's ear. With dropped bullets and constant fumbling, his firing time goes way down. I've shot a bolt-for-bolt replica of that .58 cap-and-ball weapon myself. I can do it in about 20 seconds. With people shooting back, and having to account for combat nervousness, I doubt it.

So are you saying you can fire a musket faster than a trained member of the Iron Brigade could in combat?

Oh I see that you think Navweaps.com is a less than useful site and you speak for everyone.
